Very interesting.
I speak German, and when dealing with numbers in German, (which is done like in old English, like one and twenty for 21, and so forth) I gotta do some work arounds to make it make sense to me.
Usually I'll write the number out with my finger, the ones column first , and then the tens column to the left of it. Then I can "visualize it", in a way that makes sense.
Yes, a bit strange.
That’s really interesting. How do you write 321 then?

That's fine, because the 300 part is normal, it's only the 21 part that's reversed. It's drei hundert ein und zwanzig.
So only the last 2 numbers are reversed.
